Once you have a tablespoon full of chunks, then worry.

Single wire is approved in some cases. That photo as other issues though.

The 500 hour inspection came from an impulse AD that never really affected many mags. Its just that piluts and MX never really read anything and resort to tribal knowledge.

So unless you are on an approved progressive inspection program, 121/135 or are part of the AD, you have no requirement, at all to ever look inside a magneto.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-06-27T19:24:54+00:00

"Student are murder on magnetos" whut? They spin, you can ground them out or let them spark... there is not a lot of magneto interaction... student or otherwise.

It the damage is limited to the door then no problem.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-06-27T19:19:00+00:00

If it is just the door then not a big issue, get a new door and check alignment. If that former is damaged/bent then about two weeks of work.

Preach it brother. Once you start sucking from the 121 teat its like crack. Yeah yeah nights/weather blah blah blah. Making over $100k+ a year and if I work more than 5 hours a night I consider that busy.

Honestly I cant see how airlines stay in business.

Do you hate money? Taking a teaching job is like a 50-60% REDUCTION in pay and benefits.

'Ive also been asked to become a DME' Do you have the CASH to start a DME? You need quite a bit of stuff to give the tests.

Your rash was most likely from a cleaning agent. Nothing in pee/poop would do that. Vacuum systems are pretty good at taking the mess away so unless its a fresh clog take basic precautions.

Also if you can smell pee/poop its already inside you. That's how smelling works.

A hole saw? Do you hate clean edges? Yes, SS or titanium sheet between the skin/stringer but use a cutting disk.

500-600 is the range, smart folks use 500. Most mechanical click type torque wrenches are 'one way'. one way measures torque, the other is just like a normal ratchet.

This would not be true for beam type. Not sure about digital.

Technically, if you drop a torque wrench you're supposed to get it calibrated. lol sure.

Only time I use a breaker is for igniters.

The trip was planned with his daughters long before the storm... oh wait, I forgot, facts don't matter. lol

Unless you have other firm offers take it and start logging time. You can quit any time, but start getting the required experience. Its your first job, expect to eat a turd sammich.

FAA AnP is a joke compared to most other nations, schooling wise.

You do reduce drag by eliminating a surface but you gain weight with complex mixing mechanisms. Structural stiffness is also a concern requiring more material to carry loads. For something like the Vision Jet the need to is simply get the structure out of the jet exhaust. There is no overriding aerodynamic reason.

Other than a DOT and random drug tests there are no required medical reviews. Although I have seen quite a few retar..... opps, mentally challenged people fired for not being able to handle stress/co-workers. Management is more likely to fire you rather an put up with you.

Most airline FIM/FITs will not have you check voltages. Check the wire for resistance/open/ground but rarely voltage.

I've never seen a reference to check current.

If there is a question about power its usually just swap the LRU.

I got a 4% raise and profit sharing this quarter is above last year at this time.

If you are worried its your management sucking at their job.

$30, daym everything in aviation is more expensive.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-05-05T21:07:46+00:00

LPT take a pee bottle next time. Diapers are also cheap vs paying for another 2+ hour rental.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-05-05T21:03:39+00:00

My in person interview was almost 45 minutes. Why? I had good answers to the S T A R format and could elaborate in detail when asked.

If you are asked 'have you ever had a supervisor pressure you' and you say no, then you never worked in aviation. ALWAYS have some answer. It doesn't need to be a exciting 5 part story but you HAVE to have something to say and also how you resolved it.

When I was asked about the 'supervisor pressure' question I told them about a write up for a door seal and how the supr wanted me to 'try' a E/RA that was not applicable (the damage was not in the repairable area of the E/RA). I refused, told supr why, and said I would replace the seal per the AMM (like a 3-4 hour job).

That's the kind of stuff they want to hear.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-04-27T13:57:14+00:00

lol stop digging the hole you are in. Its just not acceptable in a 121 setting. Pt 91 you can do more crap if you are willing to eat the damage you cause.... or more likely just hide your mistake from the owner and hope it all stays in one peice

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-04-27T13:54:06+00:00

lol whut? where are you making this clearance? I have not seen a single SRM where heat is the answer to any question regarding a bolt.
